3D Printing Originates in the Metropolitan Area of Hamburg
In the heart of the Hamburg metropolitan region, Bionic Production GmbH is making waves in the world of additive manufacturing, a technology that is revolutionising various industries. Founded in 2015 by former employees of Hamburger Laser Zentrum Nord GmbH, the company has grown significantly since its inception. Currently, Bionic Production has nearly 20 employees and expects to have 35 by the end of next year.
The company works with firms from diverse sectors, including aviation, shipping, mechanical engineering, and the automotive industry. This broad spectrum of clients is a testament to the versatility of additive manufacturing, a technology that allows for the creation of complex, lightweight components that are beneficial for industries striving for efficiency and reduced weight.
One of Bionic Production's most notable projects is its partnership with the French-German automaker Bugatti. The company is currently supporting Bugatti in the development and series introduction of a titanium brake caliper using additive manufacturing. This project underscores the potential of additive manufacturing in the automotive industry.
Bionic Production specialises in the industrial series production of components using 3D printing technology. The process involves melting thin layers of material together to form the desired component based on a 3D template. This approach offers savings in both time and material costs during production, making it an attractive option for businesses.
The company also offers consulting for additive manufacturing and training for businesses looking to integrate this technology into their production processes. To further advance this aspect, Bionic Production works with institutes of the Fraunhofer Society.
The adoption of additive manufacturing is on the rise, with two out of three German companies using 3D printing for their production, according to a survey by consulting firm EY this fall. The global total market for 3D printing is estimated to rise by another 24 percent compared to 2018, reaching $11.2 billion. This growth is a clear indication of the potential of additive manufacturing and its increasing importance in various industries.
This partnership with Bugatti provides a good basis for further utilising additive manufacturing in the logistics industry. As Bionic Production continues to advance the industrialization of additive manufacturing, it is poised to play a significant role in shaping the future of manufacturing.
Hamburg Hafen und Logistik AG has been the majority shareholder of Bionic Production GmbH since August 2019. The company designs the path for customers who have a specific goal in mind, making it an ideal partner for businesses looking to harness the power of additive manufacturing. As we move forward, it is exciting to see what innovations Bionic Production will bring to the table.
